I learned at Mass today, Father in his homily said Nagasaki was the historical center for Catholicism in Japan. I did know St. Maximillian Kolbe's monastery at Nagasaki was not destroyed by the A-Bomb~!! Here's a short Youtube on St. Maximillian Kolbe.
I have a son who shares St. Maximilian’s name. Great saint!
I pray, if it would happen, to ask his help if faced with martyrdom.
